Calling All The Dreamers

Why Write This?

'Calling All The Dreamers' is something a little bit different for me. It's the true story of the band from our local town in Somerset, that inspired us to think beyond our own boundaries. In a lot of ways it's the origin of how I found design, innovation, and the world of technology. It's a very personal account of the events that led a group of young men from a small rural community on the adventure of a lifetime across the world, into space, and back again.

★★★★★

I'd never heard of Electrasy before picking this up. By the end I was devastated they didn't make it bigger — and completely hooked on their story. Beautiful book.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the book for?

Anyone who loves British rock music, 90s culture, or a great underdog story. You don't need to know who Electrasy are to enjoy the book — the story stands on its own as a compelling account of ambition, friendship, and what happens when life doesn't go to plan.

What is Electrasy?

Electrasy were a progressive rock band from Somerset who emerged during the Britpop era in the late 1990s. They came close to mainstream success before the industry moved on — but their music later made headlines when it was chosen to be played aboard the International Space Station.

Is this a biography or a memoir?

It's a hybrid — part biography, part photographic scrapbook, part personal account. Pete had a unique vantage point as a fan who became an insider, which gives the book an intimacy and authenticity that a traditional biography wouldn't have.

Does it include photographs?

Yes — the book is filled with exclusive, never-before-published photographs from the band's history. The photographic scrapbook element is one of the most distinctive features of the book.

Is it available on Kindle?
